Hiking tips for the Bavarian Forest
One of five striking rock heads on the Großer Arber, with a fantastic view in all directions! Can be reached without any problems with skis and a short, easy via ferrata 👍 What is particularly impressive (weather permitting) is the view of the impressive Northern Alpine chain, approx. 150 km away 🤩
